Where for art thou BW, your opinion on Herr Rosler is eagerly awaited.

No home win since March 4th, and only 3 all year, this is relegation material, it's outrageous that this is continuing in front of the paying fans, Credit to the 22k that turned up, if we had a team that could perform then Cellino wouldn't have to worry about when the fans would turn up, I'm not chucking in the towel as yet, but it's getting to a stage where you know what's coming, the team itself lacks character and self belief at times they actually look alienated toward each other, indiduals doing their own thing, it summed it up around 85 mins Silvestre hoofed it to the halfway line twice to one of their players, then Wooton with no one near him had the audacity to play him a back pass (which he favours, why can't the lad run up the pitch with the ball) and the same thing happened again, FFS we where 2-1 down.
The final third is even worse, what do they do in training, can anyone actually see us scoring in open play, I thought we had a few dark stages in the early eighties but this is something else.

I fear the writing is on the wall for Mr Rossler, we are no better than we were 12 months ago. Unfortunately the Italian owner is not going to help matters at all.

17 Oct 2015 21:34:14
Wotton is league 1 at best, and will cost us at least 1 goal a game.
The fact Rosler can't see it, is a real worry. We sit 3 point's of the drop zone, we will soon be in it. Very lucky to pick up 3 point's at MK, their 10 men ran our 11 ragged. The only heavy metal is in our player's legs. I thought this season would be better, but nothing has changed.

17 Oct 2015 23:03:55
All of the above is correct. It's disturbing. It's got to the stage with Rosler and Cellino that the blind are leading the blind. Another loss and Rosler enters Milanic and Hockaday territory.

I can pray JFH gets the job but I'd prefer him to complete another season with Burton first.

There were several players at fault for both goals today - it's awful sometimes how easy we make it for other teams to score. For the 1st the midfield guy went past Cook and Adeyemi far too easily then Bamba dived in befor Wooten got caught a little too far forward - 1-0 with the first attack. Last goal, Antenucci turned his back in the tackle, Wooten got sucked in, Byrm didn't follow the runner - too many players making silly mistakes which we get punished for. Look at he goals we've given away the last few weeks and a lot are from our poor play. We can't afford to kee doing this as we don't create enough chances to outscore our mistakes. When we do create a chance we don't take them such as Wood and his sitter yesterday. We did play soke decent stuff yesterday but lacked the final ball. The substitutions seemed to kill our momentum a bit in my opinion.

Have to be critical of Rosler. Bad start playing Wooten at right back. At best he is solid but gives us nothing going forward and is suspect when anyone runs at him (or past him which is the norm) . His substitutions were odd. Mowatt had a poor game. He looked unfit or disinterested throughout. He did put in the decent cross but otherwise poor. He hasn't looked right since our fans had a real go at him on social media for saying that Kewell was his hero. Probably just a coincidence. Back to the substitutions. Rosler was right to take off Mowatt but Murphy should have been the replacement. His passing and movement going forward would have been an improvement. Antenucci should have come on for Dallas. Don't know what Rosler has seen in training with Buckley. Hasn't produced anything at all yet on the pitch. Byram for Botaka. What was that all about? At best it could be seen as a negative defensive step because he wasn't going to be better than Botaka going forward. Botaka showed some good touches and made Brighton 'double up 'on him because he was causing them problems. At worst it was a nothing decision. Like for like and leaving Wooten to plod on at the back. Makes no sense. When Byram came on there was no need at the time. Completely coincidently and not just using hind sight if he had left it alone we wouldn't have gone down to ten men. The message is - if it doesn't need changing don't change it.

Loser is clueless. As many bright strategic ideas as hairs on his head. Bald managers don't do well for us. Get rid.

17 Oct 2015 18:21:24
This is not looking very good now for us.

17 Oct 2015 18:13:53
Why oh why was best player on pitch in Botaka taken off? replaced by Sam Byram, lost Cooper, wooton to centre def and Byram could have slotted in at RB? could still have had 11 men, still think 4-4-2 our best option at home. still we looked bright at times, agree all wood did all day was hold ball, still team giving ball away in final 3rd too many times, but with wood solo what do we expect.

17 Oct 2015 17:44:57
Well. Being totally selfish. I don't live in Leeds any more and probably won't get to see many games live, so I'm more interested in points than performances.
I'm by no means anti Uwe - but regardless of his team selections, formations or whatever - he has to show he can coach this team to get points from games. And there has to come a time when someone else is given a chance if he can't deliver. I'm happy for him to have a little longer, but if we go 3 or 4 more games without any points, I think it will be tricky for anyone to defend him. Unless there are some who would give him longer?

17 Oct 2015 18:57:15
Time's up bro

Rosler out.

17 Oct 2015 17:17:03
Watched the game over the internet have to say like others that Byram should have started, apparently he is worth six million pounds so should be one of our best players so why he is not on the pitch, I don't care that he may be leaving we need our best players on the pitch especially when you have not won at hone for 11 games.

I just can't see where a win is coming from forget that Brighton were top they were pretty ordinary today and we should have beaten them. can't remember many shots on target in the whole game as a home side we need to do more.

Wood to me looks good in the air but not much else, missed a sitter in the first half which you have to score, unlucky with Cooper and having 10 men but we should have hung on.

On the plus Botaka did very well, like to see him go past people one on one more though. Dallas offered nothing and nor did Buckley Mowatt always looked tired to me and is always taken off because of it, Cook did well but need more from Ademyi in the attacking half.

Might need a centre half on loan if Coopers injury is as bad as it looked, can't trust anybody else long term, disappointing period at the moment we seem to be in a position to kick on when Pearson was around and were wining games, seems to have gone backwards with Cellinos poor decision over away fans and current form still think we need to give Rosler longer but bottom line is we need to win games especially at home.

Cork

Still love Rosler, his formation and tactics?

17 Oct 2015 19:03:12
If only we played 442.
Would surely have won 4-0!
Time to sack Rosler.
And bring in?
Another Hockaday maybe?
Sarcasm aside George, who would want the job?

17 Oct 2015 16:59:30
I think we've got to admit it, Rosler talks a lot of sense.
He says we won't go up this season and he's right we #%£&ing won't!

17 Oct 2015 15:16:08
1-0
Toothless.

17 Oct 2015 15:34:15
How much we pay for wood Aus?

17 Oct 2015 15:35:55
I see what you mean though Aus
Bout easy league
Brighton are crap!

17 Oct 2015 16:07:38
How good is cook though Aus
Better than 10 Dallas and woods.

17 Oct 2015 16:11:44
I reckon wood must have been April 1st or something.

17 Oct 2015 16:51:57
Losing. Surprise surprise. Thanks wood!

17 Oct 2015 16:55:52
Byram and ant from start. Drop wood and mowatt.

17 Oct 2015 16:57:50
UWE. Go
Dosent learn by mistakes
Picks same out of form players
Boring tactics. Tosser.

17 Oct 2015 14:19:13
Yet another strange team selection. Taylor obviously injured. But why Wooton at RB. Should be Byram as he offers more attacking options.

17 Oct 2015 14:35:56
Totally agree. An ideal opportunity to play Sam in his correct position. Instead he chooses to play an inferior player out of position. Well he will be justified if we play well and win. But otherwise .

17 Oct 2015 15:23:37
They no longer trust Byram. Byram wants to go. They may as well penalize his behavior in their mind. This club of ours no longer has 3 points on Saturday in its mind.

17 Oct 2015 13:06:21
MR Rose all you had to say this week was "We have worked hard in training and I think the fans will see that" If we lose today and it's the same inept performance as the one against Birmingham and you will hear people's response at full time. Your days as coach will be numbered. Mr Celine how dare you stop people watching the team they love. If there is to be a boycott then it would be the fans call. The one thing the club has is it's supporters who are second to none. I have tried all week to get a ticket for today's game, only to be told that my password was incorrect. I e-mailed the club and was given a new password yesterday, to late to get a ticket sent out. So I'll have to get a match day ticket at the more expensive rate. I am sat on the train wondering if I am wasting my time, going to watch a club who have lofty ambition of finishing FOURTEENTH. Why do we bother. Oh yeah WE ARE LEEDS.

17 Oct 2015 12:58:58
Just watching Sheff W v Hull
Passion and tempo from both sides. Precisely what we are sadly lacking.

17 Oct 2015 10:54:26
mc says away clubs over pricing but before he stops fans going by saying 2000 only shouldn't he ask as they are paying . and on over charging a friend wanted to take his 8 year old to leeds Doncaster price for the lad was £35 so over pricing at leeds . as one says cuts both ways mc . TALK ABOUT OTHER CLUBS BUT YOU DO THE SAME.

17 Oct 2015 09:55:58
Don't like UWE being happy with anything above 15. I don't understand his negativity. every team should think promotion is possible! We are good enough for top 6 for sure!
It's almost like going into a match expecting to lose!
I want to win today. It's possible. But if UWE thinks Brighton are top and unbeatable, so will players!
My prediction however is
2-2.

17 Oct 2015 12:14:54
Ausman, aren't you at the point yet where you expect us to loose?! I've been there for months!
Expecting to loose and wanting to are two very different things!

16 oct 2015 23:15:08
so now examples of chronic mis-management are coming in pairs. Very impressive (not). Once again, how long does this have to go on for before the board takes action to end this?
